4 Cigna Open Access Plus How to Get the Most Out of Your Medical Network You receive the greatest amount of benefits and the lowest cost by utilizing network providers. A list of providers can be found on Cigna.com or mycigna.com. When you visit an in-network primary care physician, generally a family practice or internal medicine physician, you will pay a $35 copay for the office visit. When you utilize an innetwork specialist, you will pay a $50 copay for the office visit. When you utilize in-network services, you are subject to a $850 annual deductible and then the plan will pay 80%. When you utilize any out-ofnetwork physician, you are subject to a separate $1,700 annual deductible, and then the plan will pay 70% of reasonable and customary expenses. There are also many hospitals in the Cigna Open Access Plus (OAP) network. Please visit the Cigna website for a list of network hospitals and other providers at Cigna.com or mycigna.com. Be sure to select the OAP network. If you elect to seek care outside of the Cigna OAP network, your coverage will be considered out-of-network, and you will be subject to a separate deductible and 30% coinsurance. In unique cases when services are not available in-network, out-ofnetwork services may be considered as in-network.

9 Flexible Spending Accounts Healthcare Reimbursement The healthcare FSA permits you to pay for unreimbursed healthcare expenses for you and your family on a pre-tax basis. Each year you set aside an amount of money through fixed payroll deductions to help pay for expenses, such as deductibles, coinsurance, or healthcare services not covered under your healthcare plan. Under the pre-tax healthcare reimbursement benefit, you may choose to contribute any amount up to $2,650 annually. As you incur eligible expenses, simply swipe your TASC card. The card automatically pays for and substantiates most eligible expenses at the point of purchase. If you do not use the TASC card to pay for an eligible expense, simply submit a request for reimbursement via the MyTASC Mobile App, online request for reimbursement form in MyTASC, text message, fax, or mail. Your reimbursement is deposited in your MyCash account. You may access your MyCash funds in the following three ways: 1. Swipe your TASC card at any merchant that accepts major credit cards; 2. Withdraw at an ATM using your TASC card (with PIN); 3. Transfer to a personal bank account from MyTASC. Other expenses that can be reimbursed through this account include medical plan deductibles, eye exams, contact lenses, hearing exams, hearing aids, medications, and more. Dependent Daycare Reimbursement The dependent daycare FSA permits you to pay for certain dependent child care and expenses for certain dependents who are incapable of selfcare on a pre-tax basis. Like the healthcare FSA, you set aside an amount of money through fixed payroll deductions to help pay for expenses, such as babysitters, child care centers, and specialized care for your parents living with you, or a spouse who cannot care for himself or herself. Under the dependent daycare reimbursement benefit, you may elect to contribute up to $5,000 per year. (Note: if your spouse also participates in a pre-tax day care account, your combined contribution total must not exceed $5,000.) Contributions are automatically deducted from your regular paychecks. After you pay your day care provider, you submit proof of your expense and a reimbursement check is sent to you. It s that easy! Arkansas State University offers flexible spending account arrangements that provide an important tax advantage. A flexible spending account (FSA) is an employer-sponsored plan that lets you deduct dollars from your paycheck and put them into a special account that s protected from taxes. The monies in these accounts can be used to pay for qualified expenses incurred for healthcare or day care. The IRS requires that you forfeit any funds left in your account after the end of the plan year. You will have until March 15 of the following year to spend your healthcare FSA fund, so you ll want to estimate your annual contribution needs carefully. Arkansas State University 9
